Spring production announced: Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward

Directed by Jenny Mann

The Wayland Players have chosen the classic British farce Blithe Spirit, by Noel Coward for their spring production.

Researching for his new novel, Charles Condomine invites the implausible medium Madame Arcati to his house for a séance. After a “spirited” séance goes decidedly wrong, the cantankerous novelist Charles suddenly finds himself face to face with the ghost of his deceased wife, Elvira…much to the chagrin of his current spouse, Ruth. Love and marriage devolve into laughter and mayhem when Ruth is accidentally killed and united with Elvira on the “other side.” Together the paranormal pair of blithe spirits haunt their hapless husband with hilarious consequences.

One husband, two feuding wives and a whisper of mischief in the air – who will win in Coward’s unworldly comedy?
